Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and head trainer of WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., says a victory over WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao would be a big boost to his son's last legacy in the sport. The fight is scheduled for May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Both fighters are easily Hall of Fame bound. Mayweather has captured world titles in five weight divisions and Pacquiao has picked up a record eight divisional titles.
Mayweather Sr. is predicting a one-sided victory. He calls for a knockout victory. At the same time, he says Pacquiao could end up taking a very bad beating if the fight is allowed to go the full twelve rounds.
"I’ll tell you this right here, it would be very, very big for Floyd’s legacy," Mayweather Sr. told On The Ropes Boxing Radio . "It can go a couple of different ways. I most definitely think my son’s gonna win, I think he’s gonna stop Manny, or even if he whoops him, I think it’s gonna be a real good beating, a real good beating. That’s what I think. I don’t think it’s gonna be no tight stuff. I think if he wins, he gonna touch him up, for real."
